DaveH Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Can anyone decipher this occupation for Joseph Wildgoose taken from his 1861 census return? Hair Dresser? Hair Dyer? Hair something. In 1861 wouldn't both of these be just be called a "barber" and he would have a red and white striped pole outside his premises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tozzin Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I think it says Hair Dyer the third word looks to me as if an "E" was written by mistake then it was turned into an "I" but it stil isnt spelt correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
